Ellen Foley - Johnny and Mary lyrics
[Ellen Foley - Johnny and Mary lyrics]
Johnny’s always running around trying
To find certainty he needs all the world
To confirm that he ain’t lonely
Mary counts the walls, knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right if
It would buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman but she made her bed
Even though the chance was slim
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
Johnny says he’s willing to learn when
He decides he’s a fool
Johnny says he’ll live anywhere when
He has time to mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says he’s still acting
Like he’s being discovered
Scared that he’ll get caught
Without a second thought
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
Johnny feels he’s wasting his breath trying
To talk sense to her
Mary says he’s lacking a
Real sense of proportion
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running around)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running away)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running around)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running away)
To find certainty he needs all the world
To confirm that he ain’t lonely
Mary counts the walls, knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right if
It would buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman but she made her bed
Even though the chance was slim
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
Johnny says he’s willing to learn when
He decides he’s a fool
Johnny says he’ll live anywhere when
He has time to mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says he’s still acting
Like he’s being discovered
Scared that he’ll get caught
Without a second thought
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
Johnny feels he’s wasting his breath trying
To talk sense to her
Mary says he’s lacking a
Real sense of proportion
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
(Johnny run, run, run)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
Johnny’s always running around, running away
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running around)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running away)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running around)
Johnny’s always running around
Running around, running around
(running away)
